Mr. President. I was deeply :moved when I saw the immigration bill signed by the President at the base of the Statue of Liberty. We all know what this symbol of liberty represents to us here in this country. and to the countless thousands overseas. It represents what is best about America: openhanded generosity. a faith in peoplea light for a brighter tomorrow. When the President signed the bill into law. he remarked: Now. under the monument which has welcomed so many. the American Nation returns to the finest of its traditions. As he said. the days of unlimited immigration are past. "but those who come will come because of what they arenot because of the land from which they sprung." As we know. "who are you?" can mean something different in terrorridden lands or lands of despots than what it means here. No one in this land needs to be related to royalty. No one need to fear because of his religious beliefs. racial background. or cultural heritage.
